Letting Go, Moving On
It seems to be that, in all things, we reach a point where we must take a step away from the things that helped us grow, so that we may learn to grow on our own. As I write this, I've been free from self-injury for a year and a half. RYL has been a major support for me and I honestly believe that I owe a large part of my recovery to the community here. You all have been great, and I appreciate every kind word and thought that was sent my way. But I feel it is my time to step away to learn how to cope on my own. It is bittersweet realizing that it's best for me to finally step away from the place that allowed me to make better life choices, and connected me to friends that I would never have met otherwise. But I feel it's time to make my temporary break from RYL a bit more permanent, checking in every once in a blue moon or if I find myself struggling once again. I can be found on my facebook and by e-mail, so if you want to keep in touch and don't have a way feel free to PM me for a link.
Thank you all for the love and support, I promise not to forget the community here.

"Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means moving on. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. Starting at birth, we grasp on to anything we can get our hands on, and hold on as if we will cease to exist when we let go. We feel that letting go is giving up, quitting, and that as we all know is cowardly. But as we grow older we are forced to change our way of thinking. We are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things that cannot be. It means maturing and moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so." - Unknown
